Our goal is to be the best Etsy sellers and crafters we can be, individually and as a group. We strive to learn together, and grow together. We promote each others shops and crafts. We come together from all walks of life with one common bond: Motherhood.... As different as we all are... we have all held a child in our arms, wiped away tears, and wished we were the ones hurting instead! We know what it's like to have your heart walk outside our bodies...

And through our bond, we put our differences aside and come together to promote handmade, "mother-made" goods.

Hearts4Adoption

Hearts4Adoption is another Etsy team made up of parents and those just beginning their adoption journeys. Here's what Hearts4Adoption has to say about its members:

We are in many different stages of adoption but all have one main goal to bring a child or children into our family through adoption... Other than adoption, the thing that we all have in common is that we have chosen to raise funds for our adoption by putting our talents to work and selling on Etsy. (read more).

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
